Panorama Camera on GE S4? - AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin

Hey guys,
I installed the Android 4.3 Google Edition rom, and love it so far. Everything is smooth and simple, but the only real thing I miss is the panorama and how well it took those. The pictures are easier to focus and it seems to have better lighting and faster shutter speeds on this Google Edition (AOSP) camera, but the panorama just doesn't compare to the stock touchwiz...
Here are some samples from my back yard...

TW.jpg is the stock Touchwiz camera...
AOSP.jpg is the GE camera but the quality is nothing close to the TW.
HDPanorama.jpg... I decided to purchase this 'HD Panorama +' application, but as you can see, it has artifacts and missing links... just a waste of money...
Is there a good Panorama camera app that is anything close to the stock touchwiz camera?
Thanks in advance...

[Q] Best Camera for AOSP based ROMs

Hey there guys, was just wondering what the best camera apps are for the note 3 when running an AOSP based ROM.
Obviously you lose the Samsung one and the one included with the ROMs all produce blurry and grainy photos.
So do any of you know of some nice alternatives that provide pictures on par or as close as the stock camera (i don't really want to go back to TW just yet)
Thanks in advance!
Camera FV-5
Procapture
CameraZoom FX
Try any of these, they're the more professional camera apps.

Good panorama app?

Both the regular camera and Google camera apps suck for panorama on my phone. What are people using to get good ones? My old S5 had great panoramas.
I've been getting pretty great (by my standards) panoramas with the Google Camera. What, in particular, do you not like about the results?
stock camera has horrible resolution for panorama. google camera is higher. panorama on this phone sucks compared to the note 4...then again the camera in general does too, but panorama is just awful software by moto.

Best Camera app for Non-Touchwiz Roms?

Hey guys,
I Love CM/AOSP ROMs but often find the camera somewhat lacking compared to the Touchwiz one, any recommendations for a good camera app?
The pre-installed snap camera is as good as it gets for cm/aosp based roms
you can get the HTC Camera (Search HTC Camera old on google) its really good. i use that on my TW rom i think its better
As far as the S5 goes - I can give you the answer, because I also have the same device. I'm using Snap Camera HDR (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.marginz.snap&hl=en). The stock CM camera lacks saturation and this app allows you to increase it. I've actually compared pictures from both TouchWiz and CM based ROMs and I can say that when you increase the saturation to 8 or 9, you absoulutelly can't tell the difference.
The stock camera that comes with ResurrectionRemix is Terrible... Especially in Low Light.
Just tried that, and it doesn't seem to be storing the photos are taking em haha. Forgot to mention i'm using a MM rom.
The only down side to snap camera (pro) is how it handles low light photos compared to TW.
Other than that I agree with the rest, snap camera is the best it gets.
PS. Looking into the HTC camera being recommended, will return with results.
I there! I can suggest two pay apps:
A BETTER CAMERA - good quality camera, the one I use with stock ROM. It supports real HDR, video recording (only 1080p) with HDR (I think it's same as Rich Tone HDR of stock camera), panorama mode, and DRO (Dynamic Range Optimization) that is very similar to Rich Tone HDR (it's a post-processing filter that fix overall exposure of the photos and can save both original and fixed shots).
PRO CAPTURE - another good camera, it's support natively Samsung Rich Tone HDR (in Scene Mode it's simply called HDR) but photos is little darker thank stock camera. I don't know if support this function with custom ROMs. Photo quality is very good, but this one not support video recording.

Best Camera for Custom ROM

hey guys, just wondering if you guys can list your recommendation for best alternate camera on R4P when using a custom rom (LOS, RR, etc)?
Biggest annoyance for me i've noticed is "shutter lag"; the viewfinder tends to pause and i have to wait before i can take the next picture. Which doesn't really happen with the default MIUI camera.
I've tried a couple, open, snap, htcfix, but yet to find one truly that's smooth. Any recommendations?
The cyanogenmod camera that comes stock with mokee/los seems to be working best for me. Have tried a bunch of camera apps and they all either have a ****ty UI or are functionally deficient in some way. Google camera would be great (love that HDR+) but it crashes when switching to video mode.

Yeah.. not sure why it is but the shutter lag just really kills me. I'm half tempted to go back to MIUI just for the camera. Best one for me i've tried so far is the HTC one.
Guess have to wait and see if Camera2 api makes any difference

I use Open Camera, it has a lot options to customize camera behaviour. I like it's UI.
Has anyone of u tested new ported MIUI camera on custom rom? i dont own anymore r4p but i see lot of u still have trouble with camera and recording.
just test this https://forum.xda-developers.com/mi...aomi-mi-a1-t3670607/post73732145#post73732145
for better results edit xml file to pass your device name.

Open camera is the best for photos, better than footej

OP5 camera s/w - available in custom ROMs?

On my Note3 previously, it shot decent pics on the samsung ROM, but when I flashed custom ROMs (AOSP) and used the non-samsung camera app pics looked horrible.
Currently on a Nexus 6p, and I like the fact that irregardless of the ROM I use, the default camera app (e.g. Google Camera) can always shoot nice pics.
Contemplating the OP5 - is this the same with OP5? If I move from the stock ROM to any of the custom ROMs, will the camera app consistently be able to shoot the same quality pics/videos?
I stand to be corrected here..
Currently the OP camera isn't available on non-oxygen stock roms.
The quality of photos using Google Camera (or other non-OP camera apps) is generally as good as the OP camera app, and some people would say better, as the OP camera app has aggressive smoothing which is noticeable when you zoom in on a photo. The watercolour effect.
The downside of non-OP camera apps is that there isn't support for the second lens. This rules out the 2X optical zoom, and also the OP Portrait mode.
There is also a lack of support for 1080p 60fps video, and I *think* EIS for 1080p and 4k videos.
There is OOS camera in RR unofficial
